Appeal to Familial Wisdom in Chakotay's case.
We have Stereotype, As Long as It Sounds Foreign, and tropes like Hollywood Natives and Magical Native American, but do we have a trope specifically for when the foreignness of a culture is used as license to just make up it up?

^ That isn't the trope, though.

Ah. Guess not. Misread what you were asking based on the title, sorry.

Is there a trophy for a character telling another character a story where the characters clearly represent their relationship? Examples include Chakotay's "old legend" about a restless warrior and the female chieftain who he vowed to serve (Star Trek: Voyager) and Gru's bedtime story One Big Unicorn (Despicable Me).
